Blizzard is working on updating Warcraft and Warcraft II to allow
their real-time strategy classics to work on current PCs, the company revealed
over the weekend at the BlizzCon extravaganza.
Polygon quotes World of Warcraft production director J. Allen Brack's
response to a question about the games by saying a "side project" is in the
works related to being able to play these older games, though he hedges saying
this will be "to do something like that in some form or fashion." Here's the
full quote:

So, we actually have a guy on our team — actually several guys
on our team — who are actually working on a side project to do something like
that in some form or fashion. We're fans of Warcraft 1, Warcraft 2, Warcraft 3,
and we'd love to replay those games for sure.

Warcraft and Warcraft II Coming to Modern PCs "In Some Form or Fashion"

They would make money regardless if they don't really change the engine layout of those games, but they would probably make an assload if they simply remade all of them on an upgraded engine like SC2 as an epic trilogy of the stories in those games.

Unfortunately I realize they probably won't do that, since they are going to milk whatever money they can from Warcraft gamers that prefer the originals, and want a return to that Warcraft game-type, and not World of Warcraft.
